it's been 40 years since the apollo program and we have take and step backwards. but i think human nature being what it is, the time will come when people will realize that going to the moon is not enough. going to mars is not enough. we'll have to go someplace where we can move human population at a time when we can't live here on earth anymore. we are maybe talking a million years. but that's okay. in universal time that not very long. alisyn: in the next 40 years so we can get our minds around it. what would you like to see the u.s. set their sights on? >> i would like to see the u.s. set its sights on developing the technology to go wherever we need to go. i would like to see the i.s. set its sights on developing the propulsion system that will take us where we need to go. the first step is go someplace like mars or go to an asteroid. a further step from where wehav. but we need to develop -- the technology development is the key to the whole thing. >> in the special coming up this weekend on fox, we hear astronauts talk about the experience of going to the mo

apollo 17 launched 40 years ago today, december 17, 1972. it was a night launch, aiming for the littoral valley. gene cernan, harrison jack schmitt and ron evans aboard. apollo 17 launched at night, and when they landed three days later, the sun was behind them. and so that particular launch trajectory put a fully formed beautifully lit earth in the window of the command module at a time when the astronauts really should have been too busy to look at it. here is how al reinert, who co-wrote the movie "apollo 13" describes what happened. quote, at five hours and a few minutes into the flight of apollo 17, one of the crewmen looked out the window. what he saw inspired him to grab the only camera that wasn't stowed and snap a picture. but whoever did it said nothing on the radio or to their crewmates about it. it is possible they did it instinctively, hardly ever thinking about it because none of them thought to mention it for weeks. reinert doesn't say which of the three took the picture, partly because nasa gives all three credit for it, and

>> well, for the future i've always felt that apollo 17 was not the end but truly the beginning of a whole new era in the history of mankind. we sort of knocked the door open and left it open for future generations to walk through. they, indeed, will do that if we inspire them like we were inspired to reach out a little bit further than man has reached before. i can't really answer your question as to entirely what it means to future generations. we've got to figure that out as time goes on. i left, when i left the moon i left somewhat unsatisfied. i didn't have an answer. i knew i had been where no human being had been before. what i had seen in the valley and lived in and called my home had never been seen by human eyes in history of mankind. people ask me how long will those steps be there. how long will the flag be there? how long will my daughter's initials i put in the soil of the moon? my answer is, forever, however long it is. that is something we don't understand. i'm just hoping we give future generations the same opportunity and give them the shoulders that we stood upon,

are better so that you can do these things that once cost 26 billion and those kind of dollars from apollo, you can do it for less money now. but you keep the dollars going for new technologies, things that are harder to do, things that we couldn't do in the '60s and '70s, and '80s and build some of these new boosters. then you will do what nasa perhaps always intended to do, go beyond the edge and create a base of technology that someone else can come by and do space taxis to orbit or to the moon and private access. that is a sign of what they should be doing in the future, which is keep pushing new technologies, keep the funding high enough to keep the right people working there. >> that's a key, isn't it, jim? i mean, it was kind of a cool thing. i mean, when you got into space engineering, i mean, if you told somebody you worked at nasa or for heaven's sake, you were an astronaut, it was a really cool job. is the problem now that space travel and nasa isn't so cool anymore? how do you keep that moving forward? >> it's a problem around the world. the u.s. does not have that problem. the
